This essentially undoes the implementation in 51da51dfc0, which
implicitly did a substitution of the Self type in a protocol's
requirement signature by threading around the replacement PA. This is
brittle because every part of the code needs to take and pass around the
argument. By preemptively substituting, the whole requirement is in the
right form from the time it enters `addRequirement`.
The infrastructure here also allows simplifying some code.
This commit introduces new kind of requirements: layout requirements.
This kind of requirements allows to expose that a type should satisfy certain layout properties, e.g. it should be a trivial type, have a given size and alignment, etc.
There was a ton of complicated logic here to work around
two problems:
- Same-type constraints were not represented properly in
RequirementReprs, requiring us to store them in strong form
and parse them out when printing type interfaces.
- The TypeBase::getAllGenericArgs() method did not do the
right thing for members of protocols and protocol extensions,
and so instead of simple calls to Type::subst(), we had
an elaborate 'ArchetypeTransformer' abstraction repeated
in two places.
Rewrite this code to use GenericSignatures and
GenericFunctionType instead of old-school GenericParamLists
and PolymorphicFunctionType.
This changes the code completion and AST printer output
slightly. A few of the changes are actually fixes for cases
where the old code didn't handle substitutions properly.
A few others are subjective, for example a generic parameter
list of the form <T : Proto> now prints as <T where T : Proto>.
We can add heuristics to make the output whatever we want
here; the important thing is that now we're using modern
abstractions.
As part of this, use a different enum for parsed generic requirements.
NFC except that I noticed that ASTWalker wasn't visiting the second
type in a conformance constraint; fixing this seems to have no effect
beyond producing better IDE annotations.
Value witness markers note the location within a generic function
type's list of requirements where the value witness table will be
placed when calling a generic function with that type. It allows one
to get the same effect from walking the requirements of a generic
function that one would get from walking all levels of a
GenericParamList, with all archetypes of each generic parameter list,
along with all of the protocols to which each archetype conforms,
which SILGen and IRGen both do.
AST verification ensures that the property above holds; we're not
making use of it just yet.
Swift SVN r9509
Introduces a new kind of function type, GenericFunctionType, that
represents a polymorphic function type with all of its generic
parameters and requirements stored in a more readily canonicalizable
form. It is meant to eventually replace PolymorphicFunctionType, but
for now we build it up in parallel so we can switch over to it
pieacemeal.
Note: this representation is built and then thrown away. We'll start
recording it soon.
